A propos de cet article

Photograph album containing 49 small portraits of at least 35 children, predominantly young girls, circa 1920, documenting school-age friendships, organized athletics, theatrical play, and changing fashions in early twentieth-century American youth culture. Particularly notable are the numerous girls posing with tennis rackets, basketballs, and volleyballs, activities associated with the expansion of physical education and competitive recreation for girls during this period. Their short bobbed hairstyles, fashionable in the early 1920s, accompany an assortment of athletic equipment, costumes, and domestic props. Handwritten captions identifying most sitters by first and last name preserve individual identities and provide evidence of the children's social circle, although the school and geographic location remain unidentified. Original photograph album containing 49 small silver gelatin prints, each approximately 1 1/4 x 1 inch, mounted on seven pages. Original green paper boards measuring 7 x 10 inches, with ribbon-tie binding and "Photographs" stamped in gilt on the front cover. The original owner's name is written in pencil at the upper right corner of the front cover. Handwritten captions identify the first and last names of most sitters, with at least 35 different children represented. Many girls pose individually with tennis rackets, basketballs, and volleyballs, while others hold parasols, stuffed animals, or baby dolls. Several children imitate telephone conversations using a candlestick telephone. One girl wears a top hat and poses with what appears to be an empty liquor bottle, a possible reference to the introduction of national Prohibition in January 1920. Male classmates appear dressed as cowboys with neckerchiefs and wide-brimmed hats, while others pose with a golf club and sporting cap or a top hat and cane. A hand-drawn pencil portrait on the final page depicts a woman wearing a winged Dutch cap. The album's emphasis on girls' athletic equipment corresponds with the growing place of organized physical education and recreational sports in American girls' schooling during the early twentieth century. Its theatrical costumes, imitation telephone conversations, and playful portraits also record activities and popular fashions among school-age children during the period. The handwritten identification of individual sitters distinguishes the album from anonymous school portrait collections and preserves names that may permit further identification of the children and their educational setting. The location and school remain unidentified. Condition not specified. A personally annotated photographic record of girls' athletics, childhood recreation, and social life in early 1920s America.…
